Simply Fruit Gift Basket
Simply Fruit is a fresh fruit gift basket and nothing else — pineapple, pears, apples, banana, mango and citrus, chosen the morning it is packed and arranged in a willow basket.
It is the gift to send when you know the recipient would rather have fruit than chocolate. It works for a birthday, a new baby, or a get-well gift where something fresh is more welcome than something sweet, and it is the one basket almost nobody has to set aside for dietary reasons.
It is the most accessible gift in our sympathy collection — sometimes the simplest gesture is the one that lands.
What's inside
The selection changes with the season and with what arrives fresh that week. A typical basket is built on pineapple, apples, pears, bananas, oranges or clementines, and mango, with kiwi, grapes or stone fruit added when they are at their best.
Presented in a willow basket or a European gift box, wrapped in cello and finished with a hand tied cloth bow.
If there is a fruit the recipient particularly likes, or one they cannot eat, leave a note at checkout and we will build around it.
How it is made
Basket Revolution is a family business, working in British Columbia since 2002. The people who design the baskets are the people who pack them. Nothing is pre-assembled and nothing is outsourced — each basket is put together after the order arrives, which is what makes it possible to choose the fruit on the day.
Delivery
Orders placed before 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Monday to Friday, are prepared and dispatched the same business day. Same-day hand delivery is available in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, with limited slots each day.
Elsewhere in Metro Vancouver and British Columbia the basket travels by courier with tracking, usually arriving within one to five business days. On longer routes we favour firmer fruit — apples and pears travel well, ripe mangoes do not. Delivery full terms are on our delivery and shipping page.
Other fruit gift baskets
For fruit with something alongside it, Fruit Plus adds brie, artisan crackers, cookies and chocolate truffles and ships across Canada. Fresh Fruit & Baked pairs the same fruit with baked goods, and is hand-delivered in our local area only. The full range is in our fruit gift baskets collection.
Frequently asked questions
What fruit is in the basket?
It varies with the season. The base is usually pineapple, apples, pears, bananas, oranges or clementines and mango, with other fruit added when it is at its best. We choose on the morning the basket is packed rather than working from a fixed list, so the contents change through the year.
Can a fresh fruit basket be delivered the same business day?
Same-day hand delivery is available in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows for orders placed before 11:00 AM Pacific Time, Monday to Friday, subject to availability. Delivery areas, rates and transit times are on our delivery page.
How long will the fruit keep?
Fruit is chosen at a ripeness suited to the delivery date, so most of it is ready to eat on arrival or within a day or two. Softer fruit is best eaten first; apples, pears and citrus will keep for a week or more.
Is this basket suitable for someone with dietary restrictions?
Usually, yes. It contains only fresh fruit, so it is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free and free of nuts. It is the basket we recommend most often when the recipient's restrictions are unclear.
Can you send fruit outside Metro Vancouver?
Yes, by courier with tracking. For longer routes we choose firmer varieties that travel well, and on the longest journeys part of the fruit may be replaced with items of equal or greater value so the basket arrives in good condition.
